      I used the Width Tool on a path to make one end thinner and the other end thicker. Is there any way to view its outline without using the Expand Stroke function? A hairline effect will suffice.

        @monsterfox it is possible to add an effect in the Appearance panel menu "Expand Stroke":

        • add the effect, and move it above the stroke
        • then add a stroke to outline the result

        attached the example file. The original curve remains editable.

            When expanding the path of this shape, a line will be left at the center of the original path. It is completely useless—can it be removed?
